- In thinking about the design of a workbench for myself, I quickly decided
- on the width and length. However, the height dimension seems a little
- more difficult to figure out. I thought I'd see what net.wisdom had to
- offer for ideas.
-
- I'm 6'2", and plan to use the bench primarily for hand tool work. Planing,
- shooting, dovetailing, etc. I will probably be doing some router work
- also. So, what height is appropriate? I believe (I don't have the plans
- in front of me) that Frid's bench is 33" high. I think (but am not sure)
- that this would be too low. Would 35" be more appropriate? 34"? Other?
- Maybe 1 or 2 inches doesn't matter all that much, as long as it's in a
- reasonable range?
-
- Thanks for any advice you can provide.
